Virginia (Couch) Throgmorton
Virginia was born on 14 November, 1821 in Georgia. She married John Culpepper Throgmorton of Bedford County Tennessee some time before 1850. The family is shown on the 1850 Coffee County, Tennessee census with a son named William born ca. 1839. Bedford County court records indicate that John was appointed guardian of a minor, William M. Meadows in May 1855. William Meadows, it is believed, was Virginia's son from a previous marriage.
The family moved to Wayne County shortly after 1850 and settled on Beech Creek.
John and Virginia had thirteen children all born in Tennessee: 1. Rebecca A. born 11/14/1842 married William Riley on 4/7/1858. 2. Mary Jane born circa 1843 married Alfred S. Cotham on 7/7/1859. 3. Elizabeth born circa 1844 married David M. Haynes on 2/2/1860. 4. Rosa David born circa 1846, died circa 1853-1856. 5. Eliza born circa 1850. 6. Patience Kisiah born 2/15/1851 married John W. Simmons on 6/5/1880 and died 7/20/1930. 7. Harriet J. born circa 1854 married Henry E. Davis on 12/18/1871. 8. Martha Virginia born circa 1856 married Brice Riley on 12/18/1871 and died in 1872. 9. John William born 4/9/1857 married Mary Jane Helton on 9/15/1874 and died on 1/27/1936. 10. Tennessee born circa 1859 married John William Brown. 11. Nancy J. born circa 1861. 12. Paulina P. born 12 January, 1863 married John Dempsey Hill on 3 September, 1878 and died on 6 January, 1940 and 13. James S Throgmorton born circa 1864.
Patience and John William are buried along with their spouses at the Throgmorton Cemetery on Beech Creek. Martha V. and her spouse are buried alongside her brother David at the Riley cemetery on Little Beech Creek at Mill Branch.
Following John's death during the civil war, Virginia became known as "widow Throgmorton" and never remarried. The name "widow Throgmorton" was used in describing her property as a district boundary for census takers in later years. She died on 8/22/1886 and is buried at the Throgmorton cemetery on Beech Creek. The Throgmorton cemetery on Beech Creek contains many various spellings of the Throgmorton name.
